Video – Session with Ravichandra Kulur and George Brooks

Last week I had the incredible opportunity to record world flutist Ravichandra Kulur on my CD while he was in town performing with Anoushka Shankar, daughter of Ravi Shankar. Ravi played on two tunes – Call to Spirit and an improv that I recorded at Imaginary Road two weeks ago. My good friend and east/west fusion saxist George Brooks helped arrange a studio for me at the last minute at Studio D in Sausalito. At the end of the session, Ravi, George and I recorded a jam that will likely be a bonus track on the CD.

About The Author

In today's modern world, people are feeling more disconnected and stressed than ever. With political discord, nonstop work days, and the inability to tune out the noise that crowds our headspace, Shambhu transforms the stillness and silence of meditation into calming sounds. An acclaimed guitarist and composer, Shambhu delivers a deeply soulful and self-reflective experience with his third studio album, Soothe, due out February 2017.

Through a blend of folk, Indian and jazz styles, his music eases the busy minds of students, yogis, and the overworked. Common Ground says, “Shambhu is a consummate artist, at once precise, skilled, sensitive and inventive way beyond the norm. Soothe overflows with inspired compositions and exquisite performances.”

Throughout his music career, Shambhu has recorded and performed with Yes frontman, Jon Anderson, and guitar legend, Carlos Santana, as well as Whitney Houston and Clarence Clemens among others. Shambhu is featured on Jeff Oster's Next, Ricochet – The Echoes Living Room Concerts(Vol 20), two Will Ackerman compilations, The Gathering II, and The Gathering I (ZMR Award for "Best Album of the Year"), on The Guitar - The Best of New Age Reviews, and on Ann Licater's Doorway to a Dream.
